Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value
A little tough to find in the US, but it's worth looking for QED 79 strand. It's not expensive and sound sweet. There are dealers in the UK which will gladly ship to the US. Ps- I would avoid drastically differing lengths of cable 
Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt
